Toyota MRS Turbo – Trial by Fire!
Toyota is one of the pioneer in the Japanese car industry that was bold enough to produce sports car in an era when European sports car rule supreme. Their first big break to the mainstream is when the Toyota GT2000 were first introduce to the world in the 1960’s James Bond movie, “You Only Live Twice” starring the best Bond of all time, Sean Connery.
From then onwards, Toyota had continued building sports cars and this had spawn into several different models to suit the demands and taste of consumers. Among them are the entry level Celica, the legendary Levin / Trueno and the big daddy of them all – the Supra. However, it’s the small mid engine sports car that truly gave Toyota its place among sports car legend – the MR2.
